ii. 6–7: “The Lord killeth and maketh alive; He bringeth down to the
grave and bringeth up. The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich; He
bringeth low and lifteth up.”
xii. 22: “The Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name’s
sake; because it hath pleased the Lord to make you His people.”
xv. 22–23: “Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and
sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is
better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For
rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity
and idolatry; because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, He hath
also rejected thee from being king.”
xvi. 7: “The Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the
outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”
xxiv. 14: “Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked.”
II., xxiv. 14: “I am in a great strait; let us fall now into the hand
of the Lord; for His mercies are great: and let me not fall into the
hand of man.”
